US DOLLAR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices put in a Shooting Star candlestick, hinting a pullback may in the cards. Near-term support is at 10990, marked by the intersection of the 14.6% Fibonacci expansion and a rising trend line. A break below that on a daily closing basis exposes the September 22 high at 10956. Alternatively, a push above the 23.6% level at 11043 opens the door for a challenge of the 38.2% Fib at 11130.
